   And, what would that be? What does the Cygwin   
   O_TEXT flag on open(2) do?

   Are you just trying to keep your Linux source   
   source-compatible with your (Cygwin-based) Windows   
   source? Or are you actually looking for the functionality   
   behind the O_TEXT flag?   
      
   If you just want to keep source compatibility, I don't see   
   any problem with using a system-specific predefined macro   
   to implement some conditional compilation. Something like   
      
     #ifndef O_TEXT   
     #define O_TEXT 0   
     #endif   
      
     open("/etc/passwd",O_RDONLY | O_TEXT);
